Hi Alison,
              I will try again, there was more to the last post that I sent you but it didn't go through, i'm not very good at this but will try again.
My family of McKenzie all seem to have been born in the Mellon Udrigle and Opinan (Obinen) area  Great Grandfather Hector looks to have been the eldest, born around 1795 his parents were Louis and Annabella M.S McKenzie, there was a son Murdo but he was born about 1825, my connection to Ormiscaig is Hectors wife Catherine Chisholm.
Sorry I can't be more help Alison, but don't give up keep posting the people on Roots Chat are great I would not have got anywhere without their help.      All the best GMac

Hi Ann,
           No you haven't missed anyone, checking my records I also only have 5 siblings listed.
I also have a connection to Margaret, she is my Great, Great Grandmother from the Maciver side.
Thanks again Ann.

Hi Ann,
           Thank you for the reply, yes I did have some luck with Catherine's death Cert. it had her as Kate with parents Roderick Chisholm and Christy Macgregor, I can't be sure but it appears she was the eldest of 6 children.
I also had some luck with Hectors death Cert. ,Scotlands people again, his death was in Opinan on the 6th December 1886 aged 91 with parents Louis McKenzie and Annabella ms McKenzie.
Thanks again Ann it was nice to get the message

Hi Kerry,
             It certainly appears that Christina Chisholm is a sister to my G Grandmother Catherine (Same parents names and same locality. Ormiscaig )

So this would make Christina my G G Aunt.

           Cheers GMac

Hi Ann,
           Thanks  for your help, I had given up but got a little excited when I read your post.
I should explain the connection.
My Grandparents were John Mackenzie (Mellon Udrigle) married Mary Maciver (Inverasdale) on 2/4/1891 in Gairloch.
Catherine was Johns mother.
Margaret was Marys grandmother.
Close family I know, but I am happy with that.
Thanks again for your help Ann,

                               Cheers GMac

Hi Ann,
           I can't be of any help with your research but I am interested in your post to Kerry. You have a Roderick Chisholm and wife Christy (M.S. Macgregor) from Ormiscaig.
 I have a Hector Mackenzie (Mellon Udrigle) married Catherine Chisholm (Ormiscaig) 4th march 1836, Catherine was born about 1810 and her parents were Roderick Chisholm and Christy (M.S. Macgregor).

I also have a Roderick Maciver (Inverasdale) married Margaret Chisholm 18th April 1832, Margaret was also born about 1810 and her parents were Roderick Chisholm and Christina (M.S. Macgregor).

Maybe you might know if they were both from this same family, I have assumed that they were but have no confirmation of it.
               
            Cheers GMac

Hi Gadget,
                 Thank you, I did'nt realise I would get that information from the death cert. I have had success from Scotlands People before so will try again.
I would assume that Catherine's death would be under her married name and not her M.S.

Hello again,
                   Great grandfather Hector Mackenzie (Mellon Udrigle) married
Catherine Chisholm (Ormiscaig) on 4th march 1836.

Found this on Scotlands people.

 From several census years it appears Hector was born about 1805 and Catherine about 1810, the census years have also given me some information
on Hector and Catherine's children.

I am looking for help with any information on Hector or Catherine's parents or
family.
                    Cheers GMac
